Associate General Counsel

Cooler Screens is seeking a talented business-oriented Associate General Counsel to serve as its second lawyer.

Cooler Screens was founded on the core idea that consumers deserve a far better experience than what is available today in bricks-and-mortar retail. We call this concept “CX” and it guides all that we do. We have begun the CX journey by bringing what consumers love about shopping on-line to the frozen and refrigerated food aisle.
